The Bag Bag with a Cause

I remember being 10 years old like it was yesterday (because it pretty much was *chuckle*) At that age I was too young to get a job and my only source of extra income was celebrating a birthday and then trying to make those birthday dollars stretch the whole year through. I also had to walk fifteen miles in the snow uphill both ways to school…wait…wrong story. Anyway, being 10 and broke sucked and now I realize I should have been a little more industrious so I could have afforded more Pogs and Ring Pops. I should have been more like my new buddy Georges…

Georges, who happens to be the kiddlin’ of one of my fave bloggers Wende, and who also happens to be 10 years old has gone into business for himself! He wanted to learn how to use the sewing machine so his mom sat down and taught him. He soon found out he really likes sewing and now he’s opened up shop and will be hand making totally awesome one of a kind Bag Bags! These are the nifty little bags you hang in your kitchen to hold all your plastic bags with a little hole down at the bottom for dispensing the bags one at a time…I LOVE these things!

The deal is: He’s selling each homemade Bag Bag for $10 (+$2s/h) but it gets better! Not only is this kid a sewing machine tycoon but he’s also a philanthropist to boot! For every Bag Bag he sells he’s setting aside $1 of his profit to donate to Heifer International His first goal is to buy a flock of chicks as a gift of “sustainability” for a needy community somewhere in the world . How cool is that?!?!

I checked out the Heifer International website and he needs to sell 20 of his Bag Bags in order to meet his donation goal of one flock of chicks, I know for sure I’ll be buying a Bag Bag today so if only 19 more people would pick one up he will have reached his goal (and I know there are at least 19 of y’all reading this who could easily part with $12)! Hell, I can easily sacrifice my Starbucks for a couple days this month for such a cute cause!

To get one of his wicked cool Bag Bags you simply need to click here and then leave a comment on that post saying you’d like to order a Bag Bag and Georges will get back to you via email with further instructions!

I admire this guy’s spunk, I won’t go near a sewing machine because I know my hand would quickly become part of the project. So, if you would also be so cool as to spread the word on your blog about this and link to Georges and his project I’d be much obliged to ya and I’m sure he’s appreciate the support as well

Now hustle up and go buy a Bag Bag you’ll be doing a good thing and keeping your plastic bags in order!!
